Prison No. 4 could be said to be the most harmonious prison in all of Lanjiang City's women's prisons.
Although there were all kinds of people, there were still many hidden talents.
At noon, Ye Huanyan was brought to the infirmary to change her dressing. Xiao Wu accompanied her.
Gu Fengfeng was brought to the prison by the prison guards to do a background check before she was released from prison. Su Hong was visited by someone.
Only Zhuang Suqiu and Fu Yingxiang were left in the cell.
When Su Hong left, Zhuang Suqiu was sitting on the bed reading a book. Her short hair was sticking to the wall and she looked serious. However, Zhuang Suqiu's natural graceful temperament made her not have the slightest bit of scholarly aura.
At this moment, the book in her hand that had not changed for thousands of years was even more meaningful.
If one were to talk about scholarly aura, Fu Yingxiang had it. Although she never read books, from her name to her appearance, she had this kind of aura. Just by casually giving her a book, she looked like she came from a scholarly family. People would believe it if she said that she was the youngest female professor who had returned from abroad.
At this moment, Fu Yingxiang had just finished washing her hair and came out of the bathroom. She sat on a small stool and used a towel to dry her hair. She had the beauty of a lotus flower emerging from the water.
"Did you sell the diamond necklace that you stole?"
A neither soft nor heavy voice sounded from the cell. It was as if she did not take it to heart and asked casually.
Fu Yingxiang was stunned. When she looked up, she saw that Zhuang Suqiu was still reading, as if she was not the one who asked this question.
However, there were only the two of them in the cell. If it was not her, who else could it be?
She smiled. "I sold it. If I didn't sell it, the sentence would not be so heavy."
Fu Yingxiang was sentenced to three years. According to the criminal law's provisions for theft, if the theft was serious and the amount was more than 20,000 yuan, the sentence would be up to three years in prison.
"How much did you sell it for?" Another casual question asked.
"22,000 yuan." Fu Yingxiang smiled faintly again.
"The actual value should be about ten times that. I only found out after going to court. However, since it was something that I privately pawned in the pawnshop, I could not get it back. Moreover, it was said to be a token of love. There was no way to forgive me, so the sentence was the highest."
It sounded like there was no loophole at all.
However, Zhuang Suqiu's eyes flashed with a thought-provoking look. She looked up at her and said, "Didn't you say that you only thought it was a small toy and stole it because you liked it?"
Since he thought it was just a small toy, why would he send it to the pawnshop?
Furthermore, she didn't have any proof of purchase or proof of the jewelry. How could she have the guts to send it to a pawn shop?
A trace of panic appeared in Fu Yingxiang's eyes, but in just a moment, she found a way to deal with it.
"I was short of money. I only thought that I could use it as a few hundred yuan. I didn't think of anything else."
After she said this, as if to prove that she was not guilty, she deliberately raised her head and looked in the direction of Zhuang Suqiu. Her eyes were slightly stunned.
At this moment, Zhuang Suqiu lowered her head and stared seriously at the book in her hand. She even turned a page slowly. She looked like she didn't care about what she was saying at all.
However, in the next second, Fu Yingxiang saw her speak calmly as if she was talking to the book.
"I'm not interested to know what crime you committed to get in here. I'm not even interested to know why you deliberately didn't let the prison guards reduce your sentence. However, if I want to know, it's not that difficult."
These words made Fu Yingxiang's face stiffen.
She didn't refute Zhuang Suqiu's words like she did the night before. She didn't play dumb either. Instead, she kept silent.
This was because she now knew that Zhuang Suqiu did have the ability to do so.
"When Ye Huanyan leaves, don't ask her to do anything for you. She doesn't need to get involved in your mess."
Although she couldn't contact the outside world anytime and anywhere in Lanjiang City's women's prison, and some people's identities weren't easy to find out, there were many 'coincidences' that made her have to treat them with caution.
For example, Fu Yingxiang would show goodwill to every new woman who came in. For example, the women she showed goodwill to would always leave very quickly. For example, after those women left, they would all disappear for no reason.
After all, Zhuang Suqiu was the daughter of the Zhuang Yu Group. Although the fact that she was in prison for her husband made her parents unhappy, they only had one daughter. Her safety was more important than anything else.
Therefore, no matter how big or small, there would always be someone who would tell her something once in a while.
Of course, she was the one who took the initiative to investigate these things.
The reason was that she felt that a woman who was as beautiful as Fu Yingxiang wouldn't easily show goodwill to other women. Once this kind of behavior appeared, there would definitely be some mysterious factor.
Staying in prison was a bit boring, but she also knew that she had to know the ins and outs of the people around her to ensure her absolute safety. This was especially so when the first batch of people who came to her family told her that they couldn't find out Fu Yingxiang's background.
She took it to heart.
A woman who even the Zhuang Yu Group couldn't find out about was actually obediently staying in prison like her.
Fu Yingxiang stared at Zhuang Suqiu for a while. As if she had made up her mind, she said in a deep voice,
"Other than her, no one can help me."
"You overestimate her. She's just a secretary of the Pleasure Group's CEO. She doesn't have much of a background. Since she's here, it means that the man doesn't care much about her. She can't help you."
Zhuang Suqiu flipped to another page and said in a low voice, "Keep your thoughts to yourself. After she gets out, no matter who you ask for help, I won't care."
However, it wasn't easy to find another woman with such a strong background who would still be in prison.
Fu Yingxiang gritted her teeth, "What if I promise that nothing will happen to her?"
"What promise do you have?" Zhuang Suqiu raised her head and stared at her with a pair of sharp eyes. It was as if she could see through her heart.
The temperature in the prison immediately dropped by a few degrees. The silent atmosphere seemed to be able to stop time.
After a while, Fu Yingxiang's eyes were firm as she slowly opened her mouth.
"Is the identity of the Wang's daughter enough?"
A series of orderly footsteps sounded at the door. After Gu Fengfeng and Su Hong reported their numbers to the prison guards at the door, they returned to the prison one after another.
Zhuang Suqiu was still reading a book when they left. Fu Yingxiang was drying her hair. They didn't notice anything strange.
As soon as they entered the prison, Su Hong's hearty voice broke the silence in the room.
"One of my sisters brought me two kilograms of cherries. It wasn't easy to get them in here. They were too strict. They checked me one by one. I'll have plenty to eat later."
Ye Huanyan had just returned. Su Hong forced her to stuff a cherry into her mouth.
After she chewed twice, Gu Fengfeng suddenly held up the plastic bag of cherries and asked, "Second Sister, after they checked the cherries one by one, did you wash them?"
Su Hong was stunned at first. Then she looked at Ye Huanyan apologetically.
Ye Huanyan's face stiffened. Why did she suddenly feel a little salty in her mouth?
